Dear  Sir: — We  respectfully  submit  to  your  consideration  the  enclosed  designs  of  Wrought 
Iron  Manufactured  by  us,  which  will  give  you  a  general  idea  of  the  classes  of  Ornamental 
Iron  Work  of  which  we  make  specialties 

We  especially  recommend  our  Wrought  Steel  Hand  Hails  (41  and  31  inches  wide)  for  Bridge 
Railings,  Cemetery  Enclosures,  and  Stairways  (see  pages  1  and  11).  It  is  very  handsome  and 
durable,  and  promises  to  supersede  the  Pipe  or  Pickets  on  all  Railings,  etc.,  where  ornamen¬ 
tation  or  durability  is  desired. 

Hoping  that  our  Catalogue  may  prove  of  service  to  you,  and  that  we  may  heat5  from  you 
with  orders,  we  are 

Yours  very  truly, 

MANLY  &  COOPER  MF'G  CO.

PURPOSE  OF  THE  CATALOGUE. 

We  have  endeavored  in  this  catalogue  to  collect  a  quantity  of  suggestive  material  into  a  small  space.  The  cuts  give  only  the  essential  features  of  the  designs, 
and  modifications  of  all  kinds  are  easily  made.  It  will  be  found  that  railing  patterns  will  answer  for  window  guards  or  grilles,  and  vice  versa.  There  are  quantities 
of  regular  designs  which  lack  of  space  prevents  us  from  inserting;  many  of  them  have  been  photographed,  and  in  the  course  of  correspondence  in  regard  to  special 
orders,  we  will  gladly  send  these  photographs,  illustrative  of  the  work  in  question. 

NEW  WORK.  SKETCHES. 

In  wrought  iron  new  patterns  can  be  executed  as  cheaply  as  old  ones,  and  we  especially  invite  our  customers  to  send  us  suggestions  and  modifications  as 
well  as  original  sketches.  In  all  such  cases  we  will  strive  to  catch  the  artistic  spirit  of  the  work  and  execute  it  accordingly. 

GENERAL  REMARKS  ON  IRON  RAILINGS. 

To  make  a  thoroughly  good  job  all  railings  must  be  made  up  especially  for  the  place  they  are  to  occupy.  All  the  grades  and  inequalities  must  be 
allowed  for.  As  a  consequence,  railing  cannot  be  carried  in  stock,  but  must  be  “started  at  the  beginning”  after  we  have  full  information  and  measurements.  A 
long  experience  has  convinced  us  that  the  only  true  way  to  make  a  railing  is  by  “  plugging.”  The  metal  of  the  horizontal  bars  is  thus  driven  into  that  of  the 
verticals,  and  nothing  can  be  more  secure.  Such  a  fence,  if  painted  occasionally,  is  imperishable. 

No  railing  made  up  loosely  so  as  to  be  adjustable  to  grade,  or  one  depending  for  its  strength  on  clamps  or  ornaments,  can  be  serviceable. 

Any  work  made  by  us  from  correct  and  sufficient  data  will  be  found  to  fit  and  can  be  easily  and  readily  set. 

CARE  OF  IRON  RAILING. 

The  only  care  needed  to  insure  our  railings,  and  to  keep  them  in  perfect  order,  is  to  go  over  the  line  every  few  years  and  ram  the  earth  solidly  around  the 
posts  and  ground  bases.  Frequent  painting  is  highly  desirable,  and  a  small  quantity  of  paint  will  cover  a  long  line  of  railing. 

STONE  COPING 

is  an  expensive  luxury.  We  have  perfected  our  system  of  ground  bases  to  such  a  degree  that  we  do  not  hesitate  to  advise  planting  the  railing  in  the  ground.  The 
amountthpt  .wo'uU  be  paid  for  coping  can  be  far  better  spent  in  securing  a  stronger  and  more  ornamental  railing. 

CHARACTER  OF  ORNAMENTS. 

Wherever  possible,  railing  ornaments  should  be  vrotlf/ht  iron  instead  of  cast. 

A  very  hasty  examination  will  convince  anyone  that  ornaments  in  either  malleable  or  gray  castings  will  get  loose  or  break,  and  that  once  broken  they  cannot 
be  replaced  except' at  great  expense-and  nothing  is  so  unsightly  as  a  railing  with  broken  pickets  or  displaced  ornaments.  We  are  making  great  advances  in  the 
substitution  of  forged  ornaments  for  those  of  cast  iron. 


II 


Besides  durability,  much  finer  and  more  artistic  effects  are  secured  in  wrought  iron. 

We  are  constantly  adding  to  our  list  of  forged  ornaments  and  use  them  in  place  of  castings. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  ORDERING  RAILING. 

Draw  a  diagram  giving  the  plan  of  the  lot.  Indicate  the  position  of  the  gates.  Begin  at  the  middle  of  a  gate  and  measure  to  the  line  of  the  property 
(that  is,  to  the  outside,  of  the  corner  or  end  post). 

Measure  and  state  the  grades  accurately,  giving  the  total  fall  from  the  high  to  the  low  points  and  the  total  distance  between  those  points.  State  clearly 
which  cast  iron  posts  are  wanted  and  how  many.  Order  by  the  numbers  only.  Do  not  mutilate  the  catalogue.  Appropriate  gates  are  made  for  each  railing,  and 
on  account  of  the  greatly  irtcreased  cost  of  making  them,  they  are  charged  at  twice  the  price  of  the  fence  per  foot. 

Directions  for  ordering  Window  Guards,  see  page  7.  Directions  for  ordering  cresting,  see  page  19. 

GALVANIZING. 

Almost  all  the  work  shown  in  this  catalogue  can  be  galvanized. 

The  treatment  is  a  great  preventive  of  rust  and  as  a  coating  is  excellent. 

The  cost  of  the  treatment  on  railings  depends  on  the  weight  of  the  work,  and  we  are  ready  to  quote  prices  on  any  design,  including  galvanizing.  To  make 
paint  hold  to  galvanized  iron  it  is  necessary  to  give  it  one  coat  of  red  lead. 

WIRE  WORK. 

We  are  prepared  to  quote  prices  on  any  style  of  wire  work. 

The  size  of  the  wire  is  determined  by  the  Birmingham  Gauge  (see  Gauge  in  our  price  list),  and  the  mesh  is  described  by  the  measure  in  inches  of  the  dis¬ 
tance  between  two  parallel  wires. 

CEMETERY  WORK. 

We  have  shown  a  cut  (on  page  30)  giving  some  of  the  favorite  styles  of  Galvanized  Pipe  Railings  and.  Fittings.  We  handle  them  constantly,  but  strongly 
recommend  the  use  of  light  galvanized  Wrought  Iron  Railings  for  Cemetery  Enclosures. 

FINALLY, 

we  would  call  attention  to  our  large  and  well-fitted  factory  and  force  of  experienced  workmen,  and  would  solicit  trial  orders,  which  we  are  confident  will  lead  to 
the  opening  of  regular  trade. 

PROPERTY  OWNERS  WIPE  FIND  IT  TO  THEIR  ADVANTAGE  TO  DEAL  DIRECTLY  WITH  THE  MANUFACTURERS. 

Special  Attention  Given  to  Orders  for  Export.

To  Engineers  and  Architects. 


|E  have  perfected,  after  years  of  labor  and  at  a  great  cost,  a  ROLLED  and  DRAWN  STEEL  HAND  RAIL,  which  is  beyond 


competition. 


It  is  finely  moulded,  smooth,  straight,  and  in  thirty  feet  lengths.  Our  first  patented  Hand  Rail  was  ordered  by 


Joseph  M.  Wilson,  Esq.,  in  1872,  for  the  great  Cincinnati  and  Newport  Bridge,  and  subsequently  the  same  style  was  used 
by  Captain  Eads  for  the  celebrated  St.  Louis  Steel  Bridge.  In  its  |)l  BSGIlt  improved  form,  in  OnB  piece,  it  has  been  used  upon  all  the 
bridges  built  in  Philadelphia  by  our  City  Engineer,  and  on  all  eroded  by  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  as  well  as  on  every  bridge  and 
pier  of  any  importance  in  the  country.  It  received  the  highest  Award  of  Merit,  Medal,  and  Diploma  at  the  Centennial  Exhibition, 
and  has  no  equal  foi  strength,  beauty,  or  durability.  It  has  been  approved  and  used  by  most  of  our  greatest  Engineers  and  Architects 
and  has  given  satisfaction.  The  Rail  being  rolled  in  long  lengths  enables  us  to  cover  all  joints  in  the  panels,  to  civet  a  continuous  line 
of  Railing,  and  also  to  dispense  with  all  cast  iron  or  intermediate  posts,  thereby  lessening  the  load  on  the  bridge  and  giving  additional 
strength.  We  have  erected  five  thousand  feet  of  Railing  in  one  stretch  for  the  Pennsylvania  (Elevated )  Railroad  in  Philadelphia, 
and  only  used  Newel  posts  at  the  end  for  a  finish.  Our  Rail  was  adopted  and  used  for  the  great  Cleveland  Viaduft-  SmithficM  Street 
Bridge,  Pittsburgh;  Polk  Street,  Centre  and  Chicago  Avenue  Viadufls,  Chicago;  Broadway  and  Blakemore  Street  Bridges  Boston- 
the  Great  New  York  and  Brooklyn  Bridge;  The  Coney  Island,  Long  Branch,  Rockaway,  and  Brighton  Piers,  and  on  the  principal 
bridges  in  the  cities  of  New  York,  Chicago,  Boston,  New  Haven,  and  St.  Louis;  also  on  man)  highwav  bridge,  and  buildings 
i  throughout  the  country. 

In  connection  with  this  Hand-Rail  we  have  manufactured  complete  the  Railings,  &c.,  on  all  the  above-named  bridges  and  piers. 
Our  experience  and  complete  equipment  of  machinery  enable  us  to  offer  first-class  Railing  work  at  a  very  reasonable  cost. 

The  Hand  Rail  forms  the  entire  Top  Cord  when  used,  and  the  Moulded  Base  forms  the  Bottom  Cord,  and  to  these  the  intermediate 
work  is  easily  attached. 

SS-'We  have  a  large  Assortment  of  Designs  of  Railings,  Crestings,  dec.,  which  will  be  furnished  upon  application. 

Catalogues  and  Photographs  of  Bridge  Bailings,  with  our  WROUGHT  STEEL  HANDRAIL,  furnished  upon  application. 


PRICES  OF  FINISHED  WORK  RANGE  FROM  $1.00  TO  $5.00  PER  LINF.AL  FOOT.
